I'm putting up a doublet centerfed by 450 ohm ladderline. It will be about
50ft away from the house to the feedpoint of the antenna. We live on top of a hill and winds here are often gusting to 60mph. The typical direction of the wind is perpendicular to the ladderline and I'm concerned about it whipping itself to death. The ladder grabber at center of the doublet will be supported by a line running from the house to a tree so I'm considering attaching the ladderline to the support line leading to the house to minimize the whipping. The ladderline has to come this way anyway. This support line will be perpendicular to the axis of the antenna. I briefly thought about threading the house line through the ladder windows but that seemed likely to spoil the impedence especially if wet. Any concerns or recommendations? tnx jtm |
